"No way these are real size" - Eugenie Bouchard reacts to Serbian basketball player Boban Marjanovic holding UNO cards
Eugenie Bouchard was amazed at a recent image of NBA player Boban Marjanovic holding UNO cards in the palm of his hand, one that has taken the internet by storm.
Bouchard, the 2014 Wimbledon finalist, is a former World No. 5, and has won one WTA singles and doubles title each so far. She also helped Canada win their first ever Billy Jean King Cup in 2023, where she won both the doubles matches she played.
On Friday, Serbian basketball player Boban Marjanovic posted a story on his Instagram of him holding UNO cards on his palm. Marjanovic, who is 7 foot 3 inches tall and is also known for having huge palms, sent social media into a frenzy with the image, where the cards looked miniscule in comparison to his hand. But many fans were quick to point out the possibility of Marjanovic deceiving them by using UNO's mini-deck.
Tennis star Eugenie Bouchard was also amazed at the size comparison and reacted to the image on Twitter, saying:
There’s no way these are real size cards! Right??
